Hadar Manor grew up in a little village by the Judas mountains. Her Transylvanian mother insists that gypsies left her on the door step when she was a baby, wrapped in newspaper with the date of June 21st and ever since, that's her official birthday. At 16 she went traveling with a bunch of hippies, who gave her a guitar in exchange for a smile and she started busking with them. When they arrived in Amsterdam, Hadar stopped for a lil' drink and a puff, told the guys she'll meet them in an hour but the air was sweet and the beer was bitter so she stayed for a year.
One day, while singing Janis Joplin's 'Me and Bobby McGee' a handsome man with a patch on his left eye approached her with beautiful stories about London and pavements of gold and tea parties. Hadar followed him to arrive at the rock in the middle of the north sea. Later on she learned never to believe a man with a patch on his left eye. Saying that, London treated Hadar well, and instead of golden pavements, busking down the tunnels of underground were a sufficient replacement.
Life got more surreal with invitations to meet the then Mayor Ken Livingstone , Mr Kevin Spacey, Michael Eavis a brief visit to No. 10 Downing St and appearances on the ITV South Bank Show with Melvin Bragg. It was all after Hadar won a little golden crown in London's competition for 'Queen Of The Underground'.
Hadar likes to write songs about the people she meets while traveling and the experiences as an urban gypsy.
